The Autoimmune RESET
Stiff Person Syndrome: Symptoms, Root Causes and Natural Therapies
In this episode of "The Autoimmune RESET," VJ explores Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare and complex neurological disorder marked by severe muscle stiffness and spasms.
With its autoimmune roots, SPS is often linked to other conditions like type 1 diabetes and vitiligo.
VJ dives deep into the science behind SPS, focusing on its connection to pathogens such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Learn how these infections might trigger or worsen SPS through mechanisms like molecular mimicry and bystander activation.
We'll also discuss how SPS affects daily life, from the challenges of managing overstimulation and muscle control to its impact on high-profile cases like Celine Dion’s career. Understand how SPS influences her ability to perform and the adjustments needed for managing symptoms while maintaining a demanding schedule.
You will gain practical advice on living with SPS, including nutritional strategies, natural therapies, and stress management techniques that can help mitigate symptoms.
Whether you’re living with SPS, know someone who is, or are simply curious about this condition, this episode provides a thorough and compassionate overview of SPS, combining the latest research with real-world insights.
